The Way to Sing.
The birds must know. Who wisely sings
VIII sing as they;

The birds must know. Who wisely sings
VIII sing as they
The common air has generous wings,
Songs make their way.
No messenger to run before,
Devislng pain;
No mention OF the place or hour
To any man;
No waiting till some sound bctrays
A listening ear;
No different voice, no new delays,
II ste ps draw near
"What bird is that Its song is good"
And eager eyes
Go peering through the dusky wood
In glad surprise.
Then late at night, when by his fire
The traveller sits,
Watching the flames grow brighter, higher
The sweet song fits
BY snatches through his weary brain
To help him rest.
When next he goes that road again,
An empty nest
On leahess bough will make him sigh
"Ah, mel Last spring
Just here heard, in passing by,
That rare bird sing"
But while he sings remembering
How sweet the song,
The little bird on tireless wing,
Is borne along
In other air, and other men,
With weary feet,
On other roads, the simple strain
Are finding sweet.
The birds must know. Who wisely sings
WIN sing as they;
The common afr has generous wings.
Songs make their way.

There is nothing that has been dis

since the law became profession that

they were not, and get them out OF

cape from. But the habeas corpus has
had its day, and now stay" is what
keeps people out of the penitentiary,
and relieves them from the couriesies

the weary brain all the rest it needs in
